Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management and automation, has introduced its range of EV Link Residential and Commercial charging stations for electric vehicles to the South African market.
“As more and more car manufacturers continue introducing full electric and hybrid electric cars to the local market, the importance of establishing an efficient charging infrastructure, right around the country, is paramount to the success of electric vehicles sales in
South Africa” says EV Link marketing manager at Schneider Electric, Victor Strobel.
The installed base of EV Chargers, should allow users optimum access to energy anywhere, at any time. To ensure that electric vehicles can be charged easily, Schneider Electric can assist residential communities, private homes, shopping malls, business parks, airports, petrol stations, office complex’s, train stations and vehicle fleet operators, with the installation, commissioning and operation of their charging infrastructures.
More than just a charging station, the EV Link is a user friendly and robust solution, for electric vehicle owners. The EV Link Range has energy management, access control and load shedding options on the built-in webpages on board each Charger. In South Africa we stock either a wall mount or floor mount option of the EV Link, which minimises installation costs and provides flexibility for the building owner.
“I was fortunate enough to drive a BMW i3 for two weeks recently, and the EV Link Charger proved to be simple and safe to use. It gave me peace of mind that the car would get a full and reliable charging cycle every time I plugged the car in,” says Strobel. The Wallbox offer is stocked locally in South Africa and is available in various sizes. Ideal, but not restricted to homes, the Wallbox is neat, easy and quick to install. It also has wall mount and floor mount options, making it extremely suitable for office Basement parking bays, office complexes, private homes, carports, golf courses, gated estates and business parks.
